What to Wear With Orange

For the last day of my series I'll be sharing my tips on how to wear orange. On the first day I shared with you how to wear wine, and on the second day I shared with you how to wear mustard, and of the three I think orange can be the trickiest to wear. Here are my tips on what to wear it with:

Neutral tones are an awesome pairing for orange, though I think warm tones like tans and browns are best. I would recommend steering clear of pairing orange and black, for fear of looking like you're dressed for Halloween.

The second way to wear orange is with complimentary colors and you might be surprised at all the colors that work to pair it with. I love orange with different shades of blue, but it can also be great with army green and wine.

Today I chose to pair orange with a combination of neutral and complimentary colors. I love the neutral cardigan and navy skirt with this fun top and I think it's a perfect look for fall. Make sure to check out my collage at the end of the post for some additional ways to wear orange.

Here's a chart for you all to help you see what to pair orange with:

I've really enjoyed writing this series. Would you all like to see it continue in the future? If so, what colors would you like to see me focus on? I'm started a new series next Wednesday that I think you guys will love, so stay tuned for that too!

Yes, definitely continue the color series. :) As far as which color to do next....I would just say go through the rainbow (and then some since there's no pink in ROYGBIV) one color at a time. I love seeing the charts and color pairings you create. There's always something in there I hadn't considered.

I really, really like this!! I'll admit that I have a hard time wearing orange. But I think it's more because I've afraid it will clash with my hair/skin tone. I really like the options you've come up with here.

Yeah...I struggle with orange a lot. Orange and black were my high school colors, so orange always makes me think of high school, ha! I do like deeper, more rust shades of orange, though, and agree that it looks nice with tan and navy especially!

Amazing post! Thanks for sharing 4 different looks and even the colors that work :) I really enjoy your blog so far and would love to follow each other--please visit mine and I'll follow you back :) xo Jesswww.stylizedluxe.blogspot.com

Please continue to do the color series! I am not one to wear yellow or orange, but this series showed me some options I'd never'd considered. I struggle wearing bright colors near my face. I like how realistic your options are for me. Keep up the great posts!
